Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are forecast for this afternoon
and evening, mainly across the higher terrain, the Palmer Divide and
Raton Mesa, west of Interstate 25. The main thunderstorms risks
today will be lightning and outflow wind gusts 50 to 55 mph.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday
Daily afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms are
expected Wednesday through Monday. Widespread thunderstorm
activity is anticipated across much of the area Wednesday through
Saturday, then a decrease in coverage is expected for Sunday and
Monday. There is also the threat of excessive rainfall on

flood-prone areas will need to be monitored closely.
The primary threat from any of the stronger storms will be gusty

with any organized storms will be gusty outflow winds around 40
mph, small hail, frequent cloud to ground lightning, and brief

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for northwest Colorado, southwest
Colorado, west central Colorado, east central Utah, northeast Utah
and southeast Utah.

average. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms on the terrain
increase this afternoon with dry lightning and gusty outflows
possible under collapsing storms. Wildfire smoke will remain visible
across the central and southern areas of the CWA.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.
Hot and dry conditions will continue through the week. Afternoon

eastern Utah and western Colorado though the wetting rains later in
the week could help diminish smoke. Conditions dry out Sunday into
early next week.
